Janus: the intertextuality search engine for the electronic Manipulus florum project
Why this work is in the frame
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.

Abstract
The Electronic Manipulus florum Project (<http://manipulusflorum.com/>) is digitizing a large collection of Latin quotations. We examine the design of the Janus search engine, which finds overlaps between keywords, supplied text, and Manipulus florum quotations in the presence of typographic, orthographic, and complex variants. Janus can be used to determine whether, and to what extent, the Manipulus florum was used as a resource by later writers. It can also be used to determine which previous works Thomas of Ireland used to compile the Manipulus florum. In addition, the Janus engine could be used to find overlaps between two arbitrary texts.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
